I created #2172 and patched the issue of ‘special characters’ in ‘blogname’ for bbPress subscription emails.

I’m still looking into the @mentions and I cannot reproduce it.

Do you get this error for every @mention in your forums?

[rossagrant]

Bloody hell, now the email subject looks fine above as it HASN’T been output as raw html in this forum.

The subject in the emails shows the apostrophe as pure html though.

It’s hard to show here as the forums seem to change html to how it should be displayed.

So to clarify:

– In my DB issue with the syntax, that &#8217 DOESN’T show in the error log – JUST IN THE FORUM POST – it shows in the error log as another single quote.

– The subject line of the bbpress notification emails is outputting the apostrophe as raw html.
The from address is fine and shows the apostrophe normally. It’s just the subject line that is wrong.

Phew… thanks!

I’d love to have Tapatalk support on bbpress. This is truly great news.

[Stephen Edgar]

I can’t see what the cause is straight up so could you paste the entire code in a gist at @GitHub please, also a dump of the relevant DNN database schema would be helpful.

(We will also add this DNN converter to bbPress for others wishing to convert from DNN)

I’m trying to do something and have hit a wall.

I want to have multiple “hub” pages on my site each with a custom menu that I’m serving using my themes slider.

It all works great on the hub pages but forums are not pages of course, so I cannot get a slider at the top the same way I can on a page0.

The forum index is ok but as soon as a forum or topic is clicked I lose any obvious way to serve my custom menu.

Must haves;
– Each hub has it’s own menu
– the menu must exist on every hub child page and forum to allow navigation

Is there any sensible way to do what I want?

BBpress 2.1, Buddypress 1.6, WP 3.5, Dynamix theme
I have HTML/css moderate skills, low php, but willing to get contractors for what I can’t do.

I’m having two issues:

1) When my users are logged in they they get the following message “We’re Sorry But That Page Could Not Be Found”

However when I’m logged in as admin (keymaster) I can see the entire forum & topics. This is also for those who are not logged in.

2) The other issue I am having is I did a fresh install of the latest version on bbPress, but now the option to create new Forums & Topics is gone from the admin side bar located in the admin side of the site. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling more than once.

wp version: 3.5
bbpress version: 2.2.3

Please help!

Hey fellow forumites. We’ve been using bbPress 2 to much delight over at jmonkeyengine.org for a little while now. After transitioning from the legacy BuddyPress forum, we needed a couple custom plugins made to reach feature parity with our old forum. One of our members, destroflyer, brilliantly stepped up to the task and made these plugins:

• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-direct-quotes/ – Does what it says on the tin.
• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ – We’re aware of existing plugins. But to maintain the same experience for our users it seemed more appropriate to roll our own. If some version of “Unread Posts” comes to bbPress core we’ll probably readjust to that.
• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-ratings/ – This was made to fill in for BuddyPress Rate Forum Posts. We successfully converted all of our old ratings to bbPress. We have a plugin for that as well, though since it’s an edge-case thing we haven’t published it. Feel free to message me if you need this converter for your site.

Please be aware that @destroflyer cannot actively support these plugins (legitimate bug reports are welcome of course) since their original intent was for in-house use, and he’s making them public as a courtesy.

Enjoy!

Dangit, should’ve subscribed. That’s great news, I’ll be checking it out.

[Hansaplastique]

I’ve made some good progress with TinyEditor. It’s indeed very fast and implementation has not been super complicated (so far).

But again; mobile browsers are not the greatest browsers.

Typing and submitting works fine on iOS. Formatting however is lost somehow.
Kindle (Android) still claims it can’t load wp-comments-post.php.

With both selecting text, and applying formatting is a disaster. Often the selection “hint” (Select, Select All, Copy, etc) overlaps the buttonbar of the editor.

Note: At this moment (to keep things easy) I’m only testing this in WordPress comments. Once that works OK I’m going to try to use it for bbPress posts.

[powermaniac]

It appears that I have this same issue (only the admin and guests can see the forums). I tried adding this code to the functions.php file, but it doesn’t seem to fix it. I also noticed that I can create a new page and put the forum shortcode in it, and it the main forum page shows up for all users (which is what I need), but once I click on any of the forum links, it gives me a 404.

Any ideas, or maybe options I should change, or caches and whatnot that I should clear?

[Hansaplastique]

Never mind Redactor – it’s commercial.
Great editor but it wouldn’t fit in the license model either WordPress or bbPress.

[Hansaplastique]

I agree; this is more something bbPress inherited from WordPress I’m assuming, since WP brings us tinyMCE. The issues at hand appear common knowledge in the tinyMCE community – and it appears that most WYSIWYG editors have similar problems.

2 WYSIWYG editors stood out so far for me to consider doing some testings with:
– TinyEditor (super small and very responsive)
– Redactor (little bigger but much more functionality, yet still responsive

As for a bug/issue ticket; where do we do that? and wouldn’t this a bug/issue for WordPress?

[flash7dragon]

Can someone help me ?
I tried to add a shortcode to my page but it does nothing…

Thanks

Top 5 plugins to use on bbPress = ?
I planned to try bbPress2 during the weekend to see if this would suit my company. I have a lot of experience of forums in general, phpbb2/3, SMF2, VN, etc. But this are very massive in their functions. As I understand bbPress2 is A LOT less “bloated”.
Still …
Some toys/functions are usally needed.
So in your opinion, what is good to have or a must have.

Also.
Is there companies/sites where you can buy supported bbPress2 addons?

[achalupka]

You may want to check your database table wp_options for the entry with the option_key of “wp_user_roles”.

When I had this problem, it was because that entry had become corrupt and didn’t have all the user roles (with their respective permissions) listed in it.

tanx guys! 🙂

[Sambora5150]

Hello everyone, first of all thanks for the great plugin, i´m building a new project community and one important part is the forum… I compared the options and the bbpress integrates perfect with the site and has a very clean code… but there a few features that I need…

One would be the “range” image for the users… like badges or something personalized

Another option could be a “award” image for the user implication on the community

I have been looking for a long time and no way to show those things on my bbpress forum….

 

can anyone bring me some light?

 

[Stephen Edgar]

I agree we need to look at this a bit more… I was using copy and paste with ‘Note’ on the iPad (3rd Gen) the other day to post here as noted above for Android ‘it will let me type, but nothing appears in the editor’ was the same behaviour I had with the iPad.

Can you create a ticket on trac so we can start to get some detailed device tests on how the editor is behaving for WordPress, bbPress and bbpress.org and go from there… It may be a core issue with WordPress that bbPress then inherits.

For some very unknown reason enabling a plugin (Custom Post Type Permalinks) is causing bbPress topics permalinks to break. But it’s actually quite weird.

With the plugin disabled this is the permalink for the topics

http://example.net/forums/topic/%post-name%/

When the plugin is enabled this is the permalink for the topics

http://example.net/forums/topic/%post-name%/

That’s right, there is no change in the structure of the permalink or the permalink it self.

If I were to copy and paste the link when the plugin is turned on, it’ll point me to the post perfectly fine.

The problem is when I try to click on the topic through the forum navigation, it returns a 404 page not found error. The reason is because of the following.

Through the forum it’s trying to point to the following url for the topic …

http://example.net/forums/topic/forum-category/forum-sub1/%post-name%/

For some awkward reason when the plugin is turned on, it doesn’t actually modify the permalinks of the topics at all. I don’t even know what it does, but it causes bbpress to go beserk and some how come up with that link. When I click on that link when the plugin is turned on it comes up with a 404 error.

When the plugin is turned off, the navigation through the forums provide the following permalink to the topic

http://example.net/forums/topic/%post-name%/

Exactly the same as it’s actual permalink so no 404 errors are generated.

If anyone can help me debug this annoying and awkward issue it would be great.

Once again, it’s the link for the topic in the forum that’s being changed for some reason when the plugin is active.

I need this plugin for other custom post types.

[Erlend]

I tested it on bbpress.org right now (which btw is definitely not mobile-friendly overall).

Seems to work better than before now, maybe it’s got to do with the chopped down editor functionality. One big problem still is that you can’t easily highlight text for special formatting, since that’ll just zoom you out. Different interaction models like that just makes the wysiwyg tools rather redundant for mobile.

Can somebody advise how to make youtube videos responsive on a bbpress post?

[mdroca]

Hello all!

I´m having some similar issue. I´m here reading and reading but nothing help me.
I did all what Shmoo say here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-php-as-template/

My problem is this: I had upload to my root theme this file from Extras: page-front-forums.php, and now I can see well the forum, but when I click on any link in forum WP load a home-template.php.

I would like to know what code I need to use and which files.

In the template root I use 2: bbpress.php and page-front-forums.php but I don´t know exactly which bbpress code I need to use..

Can any help me please? I don´t know if you are able to undestand me, my english, as you can see, is so bad.
Thanks in advance!

I’ve seen a lot of talk since the changes in permissions and not being a coder myself, am limited insofar as what I can do to get around the various constraints. I’m also relatively new to bbPress.

Basically, I need functionality that this plugin provides for older versions of bbPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-restrict/ – Deciding what users get access to which private forums.

Are there any good or reasonably reliable solutions anyone can recommend? I have Justin Tadlock’s members, I’ve had the user role editor, but honestly I’m hesitant to try a whole lot with them based on my limited understanding of how the capabilities are done and/or what changes to expect.

Suggestions very much appreciated.

Monica,

Sorry nothing new to report on a fix yet…

Btw, I’ve set this as private b/c I didn’t see a way to have people log in, so this would only be available to members. Don’t know if this is part of the issue.

With that above from your first post in mind, is it important your forums stay private or having them publicly accessible would not be an issue? If public is not a problem, try this:

If you leave the ‘category’ set as ‘private’ but change the two forums you have under this category from ‘private’ to ‘public’, I just tested this and it appears to be working.
(You can also change the parent category to public also and it won’t trigger the bug)

Back to the quote above you can use the `[bbp-login]` shortcode ona page or the login widget in your sidebar.
